    well they are one of the biggest tech companies in the country, couldn't very well appoint Kevin Rose to it

      they are also a company that was convicted for monopoly abuse, that is currently being investigated for continued violations of antitrust law. This is a stupid nomination.

        Well since government is a monopoly, they should be able to give them some good advice
        • rbanffy 18y ago
